Laziness

Laziness is like a seed. You allow it to settle and grow, and soon it will overtake you like a weed.  It’s best to not allow and amount of laziness to settle.  Rest is good. Laziness never is good. 

Show Up, Be Thorough

Show up, be thorough.  Repeat.  You’ll be successful at anything you do following this simple formula. 

Building

What am I building and how does it help others? Building something as a vanity project adds little value.  Building something that helps others adds infinite value. 

Bring Together

It's easy to divide. It takes a special person who can bring things and people together. The bridge divides. Unite. Those are special skills.

Doing over Saying

Some are good at talking. And words matter a lot. Words can inspire or they can destroy.  But it's those who actually DO who make changes in the world.  Words and communication are absolutely necessary, but the ones who change the world are the ones who actually DO.

Trust

If trust is foundational currency, how much do you have banked?  Trust can’t be stolen or forged. It’s carefully made over time and actions. Loss of trust can happen almost instantaneously.  Measuring our every action and measuring again can prevent the loss of trust. 

Jumping In

Where I swam today felt cold.  I started getting in the water slowly but it was too cold.   Instead, I swung off the dock and splashed in. It was cold much longer after that.  Lesson learned :)
